In this comic, Beret Guy takes his bun shenanigans to the state government, reporting to the governor that the number of buns around the capitol has shown a rapid increase. The governor is confused, then finally comes to grasp that Beret Guy is talking about rabbits, lots of which can be seen if he would just go outside (by the way, there is small one RIGHT NOW!).

The governor finally takes appropriate action by calling security, and Beret Guy confronts his fate with poise and honor.
